1. Goals/Plan 2. Challenges: Me/ I need to improve my techi skills. 3. If I were successful in my efforts, all students would have an edline account activated, would be able to work within Word 2007, teachers would be able to actively use their new SMART boards and technology would be a seemless part of instruction: not something extra, but infused to enable the students to function in the world.

EETT Goals

Rob Haggart - Grove City SD

Sara Crawford EETT Tech Coach

Coming up with a clear vision, getting teachers on board with the direction we want to go. I think showing that we are invested in the future of the students. I think it will take time to change the mindset of the teachers. I have heard many suggestions from my group on what they are doing in their schools that I have found useful. I think some may apply in my school district. I also feel that getting the teachers more comfortable with the technology they use will be helpful.
 * 1) A listing of your goals as instructional coach
 * 2) Communicate with the other coach in the district what was discussed/what I learned at boot camp this week
 * 3) Discuss where we what to go this year
 * 4) Take back what is discussed to administration, curriculum director
 * 5) Professional development ideas: getting teachers more comfortable with the tools in their classrooms
 * 6) A listing of your challenges and strategies to overcome those challenges (use your collaboration with other coaches to address these challenges)
 * 1) Assume you are successful in your efforts to help your teachers prepare students as future citizens of the world. What would your school look like?
 * 2) Teachers more comfortable pushing the boundaries of tools available to them. Engaging their students to do for themselves and not teaching for the test.

====** Goal As Coach: My goal as coach is to create a vision where teachers in my district will be able to use tools available in this 21st Century Learning environment in order to benefit the teacher in classroom preparation and ultimately, passing this invaluable information onto the student, not just because they are supposed to be implementing this technology but have a heartfelt desire to use it in the classroom. **==== ====** Challenge: The biggest challenge that I face today as a CFF coach is being able to build a good rapport with teachers and administration in the district so that I may be able to assist them with new and amazing technological opportunities that will hopefully enhance classroom instruction while unharnessing the power of technology and the creativity of students! Beginning Friday, November 12, 2010, I will be starting as the CFF Coach in Ellwood City, meeting the new administration, all of the staff, faculty, and students for the first time! My desire is to make a positive first impression! **==== ====** Success Looks Like: Teachers is the district feeling as though they can turn to me for any support and guidance they need with this 21st Century Learning and that students, by creating and promoting real world projects, designed and implemented by them, would have the realization that no matter how big or small the issue is, they can make a DIFFERENCE! **====
